The progrdimme for the year of the Board of Works has placed the Utili- ties Commission in a pesition where judicious and prompt consideration must be given a matter of import- ance to the ent're city, for it would likely be the ratepayers as a whole who would have to stand behind it financially. The question is, wheth- er or not the finance committee of the city council is prepared to pro- vide for the necessary expenditure, which is very considerable. The Board of Works, of which Ald. John Litton is chairman, has laid out an area of the city streets which it proposes to pave this year and it is, therefore, #*msumbent up- on the Utilities Commission to Alds. O'Connor, Kent and Newmanhave all its underground work done beforehand, in order that no ripping up of the pavements will be neces- sary afterwards. . At Monday afternoon's meeting of the commission the city engineer submitted by communication, a list of streets it is the intention to pave this year. The doing of all under- ground work would necessarily involve a very large expenditure on the part of the commission. In the report of the general manager on the redistribution of the city water mains, a number of these streets, for instance, Uhiversity avenue, were in- cluded. The sense of the commis- sioners was that the commission should go slow om this. Dr. Ross reminded the mayor of the difficulty of financing such . extensive work. The latter wanted to see it dealt with and suggested that. the Board of Works aid thie commission should consider this matter at a joint ses- sion. The majority of the members of the comm: n felt that the Board of Works had contemplated a 'mighty lot 'more than .it could ac- complish this year. T. J. Rigney noted that the board had laid out "a rather ambitious programme." May- or Shaw admitted that even if the paving of Princess street and other business thoroughfares is realized this year, a great deal would be ac- complished. Nothing definite was arrived at, but the sense of the meeting was that if the city wanted this underground work done it was possible, if the financé committee could provide the funds. It was agreed, on the chairman's sugges- tion, to hold a special meeting next Monday. to -sonaiden. HR Ayestion. 4 a Sm-- : Tondors for Gas Oil C. C. Folger, general manager, brought up the matter of contract- ing for a further supply of gas oil. The question' before the commission was as to whether the market was in such a condition as to make a con- tract of a large quantity, sdy 100,000 gallons, advisable. The city council then get the benefit of a drop in price. The chairman and Mayor Shaw were satisfied to leave the purchase of the gas oil for the department with the manager. The. resolution of Mr. Toye ¢arried, to call for tend- ers and the power to award these was left with the chairman and manager. The 'general manager's recommen: dation that meters be installed in all barber shops, to be read monthly, was adopted. It was noted by Mr. Folger 'that « the department was being "beaten" on electricity used, on the present flat rate of $5.00 per year. Upon the advice of Mr. Folger, the mayor moved a resolution, which car- ried, to the effect that in future it will be necessary for all persons anthorizing work in connectien with the laying of gas or water services, both in and outside of the street line, to provide a deposit with the depari- ment, unless another has been furn- ished the city. Dr. Ross, however, opposed this reselution. i A communication from the Roman Catholic school board asking that the em -- ra rs y-- gp > About a Porcupine A GENUINE ALLA witb J UPINE AnD ¥ 5 MARCH 8, 1014 | separate schools, now on a meter, be exempt . from water cl was read. The tommission will meet a deputation from the board on the matter at a later date. T. D. Minnes submitted a report on the stock of the light department. It was satisfactory to him and the commission. Another Power Proposition The following communication was received from H. W. Richardson, through the Board of Trade, and read 4 ' "IT am informed that certain par- ties have leased High Falls, near Calabogie, intending. to produce pow- er from same, and that they are open to sell power to the Hydro-Electric, who might, Tn turw, sell it to King- ston. "I know of no power that would be as useful to us as from High Falls to build up the small villages on the K. & P. railway. This railroad ir directly . tributary: te Kingston, and it would be a great benefit to our merchants, while power taken from the Trent would be quite to the contrary, building up cities to our disadvantage. "There is no more serious pro- blem before us than the question of cheap power, and, in fact, we are so handicapped in this particular that it is 'almost uséless to go out and ask manufacturers to settle in our midst, "The citizens two or three years ago gave power to the council to contract for pbwer. The council has evidently been afraid to do so. It is time now that some progressive steps should be taken in this direction." . , This communication was fyled un- til the general question of power for the city will be taken up by the com- missions at a later date. Mayor Shaw introduged a short discussion upon it at Monday afternoon's meet- ing. ? T. J. Rigney, chairman, presided at the meeting. All the otter -miem-{ ~ bers of the comnfission; Mayol" A. Shaw, Dr. A. E, Ross, R. H. Toye and] J. H. Bigkett, were present. CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS To bo Held at.

Canadian Flour Winning Ottawa, March 3.--~That the United States millers have reason to fear the gradually ibcreasing competition of Canadian flour in the markets of the Orient is stated by the Unitéd States consul at Hong Kong. The, weekly bulletin of the trade and commerce de- partment quotes his report to the Am. erican government as saying: "'The United States has lost considerable trade to Canadian mills as su result of difference in quality in American flour during the past year, as compared with previous years, and of the in. creasing competition offered by strong Canadian flours generally. Theére is apparently no reason why this: compe- tition should not increase iu intensity in the immediate future."
